neck disability index,

n in chiropractic medicine, parameter used to monitor the progression of a patient throughout the treatment period. Specifically, this questionnaire evaluates changes in a patient's function and measures a self-evaluated disability as a result of neck pain. Each of the 10 items receives a score from 1 to 5; therefore the maximum score that can be attained is 50. It is recommended the questionnaire be administered at the initial point of contact. At least a five-point change is needed to determine a development or progression in therapy that is clinically meaningful. Also called
NDI.
